Listener Opinions

Deanna | 2/9/2014

" I was surprised how much my boys really enjoyed me reading this book to them. They have been reading some of the stories on their own now. I will need to find some more stories from the library. "

" A book I will keep forever just like the memories of grwing up with Peter and his friends. "

Angie | 1/29/2014

" Love reading these to the boys "

Heidi | 1/28/2014

" I didn't expect it to take me almost a month to read this book. Perhaps it's because I read a little at a time. the beginning of the book sped by and I enjoyed reading all of Potter's tales, as previously I was only versed in the 1st Peter Rabbit tale. But as the book wore on, I found it harder to get into some of her stories, especially the ones that were longer than her typical books. The illustrations were always great and the humanized animals were so cute. Her ideas were fun, but I guess they started to feel...um, weak? I don't know how to describe it. I think they are books one definitely should grow up with and I wish I'd had more available to me as a child. "

Lara | 1/15/2014

" Over and over I read these..."The Tale of Two Bad Mice" being a particular favorite, and always intrigued by the sinister nature of "Jemima Puddleduck." "

Mary | 1/13/2014

" I wish every child could own these books. What a wonderful world Beatrix Potter gives us with this amazing cast of characters. Your child will be a nature lover for life if you read Beatrix Potter to him/her...Timeless classics. "

Man Solo | 1/7/2014

" a must read for children "

Renae M. | 1/4/2014

" Loved these as a kid. "

Kerry | 12/18/2013

" To be honest, I prefer the small, individual editions, perfect for childish hands. I think this text is in the public domain so anyone can publish it in any format. "

Beth | 11/28/2013

" I love this book. It was the first book I bought when my daughter was born. I'd read to her every night from it for years. The topsy turvy quaint writing style and stories are adorable. Plus I played Mopsy in my 2nd grade play. :D "

Vanessa Wester | 11/28/2013

" A must have for all children... the wonderful world of Beatrix Potter "

Rivkah. | 11/27/2013

" I love Beatrix Potter's stories, and this is a great volume of them complete with all the pictures. "

Devin | 11/17/2013

" These were some of my favorite stories as a child. They give me a very nostalgic feel when I read then over again, about thirteen years after first picking them up. "

Lee Nespor | 11/12/2013

" Read this one out loud to my daughter. Enjoyable but definitely a product of its time and place. At times we both found the stories a little, well, odd . . . "

Sophie Jeynes | 10/30/2013

" A staple of my childhood. I adore these stories. "

Kristin Millward-Anastas | 10/11/2013

" This is Ezran's current bedtime story book. It is not a book you could read one-handed because of its size. It is also challenging to read outloud and I end up making up prounouciations for some of the more English names that I am not familiar with. "

Margaret Metz | 5/21/2013

" I loved these stories as a child, then I told them to my children. I grabbed up this book when I saw them all bound together. I love the artwork - it looks perfect and brings back the most precious memories. "

Bob | 11/11/2012

" When my college sophmore daughter was young, these were her favorite books. What always amazed me with Beatrice Potter is how she would dress these animals in clothes, and at the same time have them act largely through animal instinct. "

Leslie | 1/24/2012

" A great way to read all of Beatrix Potter's works and -- even better -- to pore over the beautiful illustrations. An introduction to each book tells when it was written and gives some background on places used in illustrations, who is was given to or dedicated to, etc. "

Rhiannon | 11/29/2011

" I have lovely memories of reading these as a child, absolutely loved these stories. Such beautiful illustrations too. "

Kelsey | 9/17/2011

" These books are an absolute treasure and I will cherish them forever. They were so fun to read as a child and I hope to read the beloved stories to my children. The movies are great too and I am in search for the set! I've yet to find them, but I will continue hunting. "

Lia | 3/2/2011

" I love Beatrix Potter's unusual tales for children. The watercolors are marvelous and detailed. And the stories are so unexpected. "

John Velez | 12/9/2010

" A classic that rivals Winnie the Pooh, being both british literature. It is a great book of short stories for children. I've read these stories to my kids when they were young. "

Melissa | 11/23/2010

" I like this because it gives us some of Potter's material seldom found anywhere else. But again, it is narrated by Frasier. "

Teri | 10/13/2010

" This is a must for any child's library. We love Beatrix Potter. Note: nice read anytime, but it you're looking for Easter "bunny" stories, these are great.
"

Amber | 5/8/2009

" I understand these are cute stories and they have good morals in them, but frankly I find them kinda of boring, and so do my kids. They are cute though.
"

Analee | 12/28/2008

" Very cute stories! I really enjoyed more stories from Beatrix Potter.

About the Author

Helen Beatrix Potter (1866–1943), born in London, is regarded as one of the world’s best-loved children’s authors of all time. From her first book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit (1902) she went on to create a series of stories based around animal characters including Mrs Tiggy-winkle, Mr Jeremy Fisher, and Tom Kitten. Her humorous, lively tales and beautiful illustrations have become a natural part of childhood. A source of inspiration was the Lake District where she lived for the last thirty years of her life as a farmer and conservationist. Her books have been translated into nearly every language and have never been out of print.
